Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed March 25, 2004. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This filing is an amendment (10-K/A) to Cummins Inc.'s (CMI) 2003 Annual Report, specifically addressing the inclusion of financial statements for Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company Limited (DCEL), a 50%a owned unconsolidated subsidiary.
The primary reason for this amendment is to comply with Regulation S-X, which required these financial statements to be filed by March 30, 2004, and which were initially excluded from the annual report to shareholders. Investors should note that this amendment primarily concerns financial statement disclosures rather than significant operational changes or performance updates for the consolidated entity itself. The filing incorporates the independent auditor's report and detailed financial statements for DCEL, including its statements of operations, financial position, cash flows, and shareholders' equity, along with accompanying notes.
